ARM Processors Will Gain 55% of Netbook Market by 2012 [View article]
Both Atom and ARM chips happily run Linux. So that's not a difference.
I think it's also worth noting that people seem willing to spend $35 for an OS that offers some value over Linux in terms of applications, UI or whatever.
ARM certainly has a growing opportunity as smart devices proliferate. However I'd fully expect Intel to execute well here and be the engine in most general purpose computing devices that look like laptops or netbooks.
